Hi there, I am listening to your podcast, which claims to be “introducing non-gamers to RPGs.” After listening to more than seven minutes of unrelated chatter, which held no interest and offered nothing entertaining, I gave up.
Our episodes are all about an hour long, and we use the first few minutes to make announcements and such. The informational portion begins further in.
Also, this show was intended for gamers trying to introduce the hobby to non-gamers. If you are a non-gamer yourself, we have seven mini-episodes — all without any irrelevant conversation — you might want to check out. Those are all under episode 115.
Good episode. Your advice about gently and slowly talking eith people who are both hostile and misinformed about RPGs rings true and similar to what I’ve seen and heard for advice about deprogramming those who were abused by a cult.
